An introduction to the ideas of computer programming within the context of the visual arts that also serves as a reference and text for Processing, an open-source programming language designed for creating images, animation, and interactivity.
It has been more than twenty years since desktop publishing reinvented design, and it's clear that there is a growing need for designers and artists to learn programming skills to fill the widening gap between their ideas and the capability of their purchased software. This book is an introduction to the concepts of computer programming within the context of the visual arts. It offers a comprehensive reference and text for Processing (www.processing.org), an open-source programming language that can be used by students, artists, designers, architects, researchers, and anyone who wants to program images, animation, and interactivity. The ideas in Processing have been tested in classrooms, workshops, and arts institutions, including UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, New York University, and Harvard University. Tutorial units make up the bulk of the book and introduce the syntax and concepts of software (including variables, functions, and object-oriented programming), cover such topics as photography and drawing in relation to software, and feature many short, prototypical example programs with related images and explanations. More advanced professional projects from such domains as animation, performance, and typography are discussed in interviews with their creators. “Extensions” present concise introductions to further areas of investigation, including computer vision, sound, and electronics. Appendixes, references to additional material, and a glossary contain additional technical details. Processing can be used by reading each unit in order, or by following each category from the beginning of the book to the end. The Processing software and all of the code presented can be downloaded and run for future exploration.

我的耐性需要磨練...書不悶, 只是每每過了一小時我就坐不定

对于只是想了解编程以及Rapid Prototyping的我来说,本书针对设计师与艺术家的导向造成了一些麻烦。不过本书的“半官方”口吻的确有助于系统学习(早些时读Learning Processing,总需要时不时参考官方reference,两者体系的不一使得逻辑线条十分混乱)。 不像一般的计算科学入门读物,本书更多地是从一个相对较高的层次增进我们对电脑的理解的。矢量/位形图、文字的处理与显示、图... 对于只是想了解编程以及Rapid Prototyping的我来说,本书针对设计师与艺术家的导向造成了一些麻烦。不过本书的“半官方”口吻的确有助于系统学习(早些时读Learning Processing,总需要时不时参考官方reference,两者体系的不一使得逻辑线条十分混乱)。 不像一般的计算科学入门读物,本书更多地是从一个相对较高的层次增进我们对电脑的理解的。矢量/位形图、文字的处理与显示、图形界面、互联网、图形识别……比起枯燥的算法设计更感亲切,对于我这种只愿以计算机为工具、又不满足于现成软件的局限的人而言尤其是这样。 (展开)

这个只是教了画笔怎么用。至于怎么画就看造化了。
